brilliant lol.
Something like this pops up every once in a while. It's not the first moon at a camera and there was that guy that drove round in his right hand drive car in germany or somewhere with a muppet doll thing in the left seat and the cameras never got the drivers face.

I'd say f*** em, but you cannot even do that in your own home any more

You gotta love that.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

oops never mind had another read.
Bet they were just miffed the driver knew they were there so couldn't catch him.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

There was one a couple of years back where some old boy was done for flicking the Vs (not speeding at the time) at one. They claimed he was DWDC as he had one hand off the wheel unecessarily. Naturally, they didn't bust any of the other people who drove by with hand off the wheel doing things like fiddling with the radio, that'd impact their machine control far more far more than this. It's driven more by a childish reaction to not liking the public voicing their disapproval of speed cameras (which is what this sort of behaviour is) than any concern for the safety of the occupants of the vehicle or those around them. Well done chaps, great way to get people to lose faith in the force.

As an aside, I'll give them the thumbs down when stopped at lights, handbrake on, etc. wouldn't do it whilst moving for fear of reprisals.

made me chuckle lol :)

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Erm...... if the driver wasn't speeding then why did the camera take a picture of it? :confused:

mobile speed trap

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Ah..... kinky copper :lol:

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

this is completely shocking! terrible behaviour by the driver also allowig a passenger to travel in the vehicle with a seatbelt on! I think he should probably have his liscense removed! as for thebpassenger it was such a shocking thingto do I think he deserves jail!

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

What?
Terrible behaviour by allowing the driver to wear a seatbelt? :confused:
Jail for the guy who moonied, its only his ****, no big deal.
A ban for the driver, what did he do?
He ain't responsible for his passanger wearing a seatbelt.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I assumed it was sarcasm saoralba

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Dont you just love the sense of humour failure of the scamera stazi here?They must have their heads shoved so far up their dijestive tracts it isnt true.
And to think we give these people power over us.Thats the real shocker here.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I think you will find that is wrong. Though I can't be sure.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Ahh :shock:

Al get me coat :(

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I think they've changed the law plowsie. I'm sure I read somewhere if the passenger is over like 13 or 16 or something it's their responisiblity.
Or is that pillions and helmets :scratch:

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Passengers over 14 are classed as adult passengers and are responsible for wearing the seatbelt. So a 14 year old will be done for no seatbelt, but a if a younger passenger is not wearing one, the driver is done.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Adults
Drivers and adult front seat passengers in cars must wear a seat belt, unless they have a medical exemption certificate. Adults travelling in the rear of a car must also use seat belts, if they are fitted. It is the responsibility of the adult passenger (not the driver) to ensure that they are using the seat belt.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Cool, didn't know which way it swung nowadays.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

someone will correct me if im wrong but I'd heard if you have a drivers licence but are caught without a sealbelt in the passenger seat you can still face prosicution. If a passenger is under 14 then its the drivers responsibility to make sure they belt up. over 14 is the passengers neck on the line.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

has anyone else had the mental image of an identity parade = load of blokes bent over with their ar5es out and the speed camera operator trying to I.D. the mooner....

Ah carp. I flipped the bird at one just this morning :( Hope they weren't too upset :smt098

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

i just thought it was funny

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

You face prosecution for not wearing a seat belt if you are 14 or older. Having a driving licence or not is irrelevant.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

"We"?

Scamera operators have overtaken traffic wardens in the league tables of human filth. Doubt anyone would complain too much if a couple of WPs found their way into the van with them. Mmmmm medium rare fixed penalty notices :-P

I'd love to be the prosecutor in charge of said bum brandisher's punishment

"quite frankly, I think this is hilarious - have some cake"

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I beleive this falls outside the "you must incriminate yourself or someone else" laws, so when they ask who's the rse... he can giggle a bit and tell them he's done naughty things to their mothers.. or something.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I've heard it's the stig

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

It would be a real bum rap if he gets done for it.

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

aye, daft as ars3holes

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Ha! i think the driver should have some sort of warning as he allowed the passanger to do it thus removing their seat belt (which i always thought driver got fined for)

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I'm sure Ed or someone will be able to clarify, but IIRC, it's only yourself and your spouse that falls into that category of exemption...

...still, could be his missus. ;)

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

I thought it was just if it was your car in a traffic offence? Any other offence surely you're fine to have an attack of amnesia without prosecution?

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

it's against a persons' human rights to convict them on the grounds of having a bad memory

Re: "Not only is it disrespectful, this behaviour is distasteful and offensive"
 

Does this mean if you get stopped and you have a blood covered hatchet under the passenger seat you can't just say 'meh could have been any of my murderer pals'' ?
